26th March 2018 Gaëtan MarieCurtiss P-40 Warhawk

This week’s updates are dedicated to surviving examples of the beautiful Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.

Fly it for Christmas !

8th December 2016 Gaëtan MarieArticles

It is with great pride and honour that I would like to introduce my partnership with maxFlite. The concept behind maxFlite’s product is quite simple: we all have fond childhood memories of playing with small foam gliders with propellers.
